1000 Lights

1000 lights
No slumber for the restless
1000 lights

No slumber in restless nights

Closing up on you
Make another try
On another day
In a different way
Just another shade of gray

No place to stay away
On the other side forever
In the distance
See 1000 lights

For a moment, lay
I wanna rest, stay
1000 lights
No slumber for the restless

For a moment walk my life
Feel the ground
See through my eyes
1000 lights
No slumber in restless nights

I am always on the run
My world has come undone
What I had I left behind
On the mission to survive

Leaving not believing
I could ever make it far
Back into the unknown
Almost feels like coming home

Lost in stares
But no one cares
Nothing I can say or do
Will ever change your point of view

A name is just a number
Am I the one to blame?
How often did I wander
In the silence of disdain

Don't ask why
Don't tell me where to go
How I got here I don't know
In the undertow
Lower than zero

Oh shadow sleeper
Life cuts deeper
The more there is
The less we care
1000 lights

For a moment, lay
I wanna rest, stay
1000 lights
No slumber for the restless

For a moment
Close my eyes
Feel alive
Not just survive
1000 lights
Slumber in restless nights

Under pressure to the core
In distorted corsets
Empty shells destroyed
Voice of reason wide awake
Threat or asset?
The lesson is clear

I can feel the air
One thousand lights, no breath to spare
Your home is sacred but I have no faith
No rest, nowhere, never, anywhere
You rise, I fall

1000 lights
I fall
No slumber for the restless
1000 lights
No slumber in restless nights
